Naming and etymology
The meaning and origin of the name Lievestuore is unclear, as it consists of two unknown elements lieve(s)- and -tuore. The name is probably not of Finnish origin, possibly being derived from a Sámi language and morphed into a more "Finnish-sounding" form over time. The name originally referred to the lake and hunting grounds by it before being adopted as the settlement's name.
Distinct case forms may be used for the name: the adessive Liepeellä "in Lievestuore", ablative Liepeeltä "from Lievestuore" and allative Liepeelle "to Lievestuore"; these forms are nonstandard and may be seen as humorous.
